Apple iOS 18: What's new and when will it release
Apple is gearing up for the launch of its much-anticipated iPhone 16 series, which will be powered by the new iOS 18. The tech giant unveiled this latest operating system at WWDC 2024, highlighting a host of enhancements and innovative features. While a beta version has been accessible to developers and public testers for some time now, many iPhone users have steered clear due to potential bugs and vulnerabilities.

The standout feature of iOS 18 is Apple Intelligence. The AI suite includes an updated Siri, smart reply and email summaries in Mail, and natural language search in Photos. The update brings new look for app icons and widgets, personalization of Home Screen layout, redesigned control panel, game mode, an overhaul of the Photos app, new animations for iMessages, support for RCS messaging, and revamped Mail and Safari apps. New Password app will store all your credentials in one place.
iOS 18: Expected release time in India
Apple is likely to roll out iOS 18 on September 16, following its historical pattern of releasing new operating systems one week after launching new iPhone models. Based on previous iOS version rollouts, it is predicted that Indian iPhone users will be able to download iOS 18 on September 16 at 10:30pm. The upcoming update will be available for a wide range of iPhone models including the 15 series and older models such as iPhone SE (second generation or later).
